Why is my poop so dark? its like a swamp green almost black but i don't feel sick at all
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Many possibilities: Dark bowel movements can occur with medications (especially iron), certain foods/color additives, & also can be something more serious like gastrointestinal bleeding or a liver problem. If you feel fine it is unlikely that you have significant blood loss or liver problems, but it would be best to call your doctor to see if they would like to evaluate you & do some basic lab work
